These guys are so active and lots of fun to watch and mess with. I'll be wanting to expand this cage for a fall/winter project.
Thanks,
Mike

Thats a cool cage Mike, I recently did something similar as far as the rock stacks go. I went out and got a bunch of slate and flagstone and created stacks, it heats up nice and creates a natural look.

cheers, andrew

Thanks, but remember to make sure the rock is stable. They can move alot more weight than people think, alot more. And a crushing accident could easily occur. I know you already know this, but just want to mention it for any beginners. Take care.

Good point, I should have said it myself. The rocks are beautiful though and yes you certainly do have to secure them and bind them.

cheers, andrew

I really like the cage. I like the idea of useing the rock as a place to climb on. I also agree that they are a lot of fun to watch and interact with.

There are water dragons, chameleons, frilled dragons, pythons, and monitors in my jungle room.

Thanks and great pic. Been trying to capture that myself, but never quick enough with the camera to get a good shot.

This one is a rescue I just got a few days ago. It tripods alot. I watched it one time when I was in the room for 5 minutes and it was tripoding when I came in and was still tripoding when I left. I have another younger one that I have never seen tripod. They are awesome monitors.
